A blue light appears before you and greets you with a sing song voice,
"Hey There! You're a guest right? Welcome to The Forum."
The Blue light sparkles over the register button for a moment,
"you know you can find so much more in here if you join us."
She flares brightly once more and then disappears.

The Count’s Cauldron had to close on the 9th of August due to blood loss for all of its employees. This came as a result of the offer they were running in the last Issue of this Paper.The Count’s Cauldron Café has always been known to serve the best vampire treats at the most affordable prices. Yet when they released their advert saying ‘two bites for the price of one special’ they found themselves completely overpowered by the amount of vampires that turned up for their two bites.The staff and Management, not wanting to turn their valued customers away, did all they could to satisfy their needs. Consequently a lot of the staff ended up having to phone in sick after the second day and seven of the team had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency blood transfusions. Some of the staff are still in critical conditions and a team of witches are doing all they can to get them back on their feet.The Owner, Steve Fuller, has been forced by the circumstances to close the Café for a few months to give his team the much needed time to recover.“We are sorry for the inconvenience this will cause to the vampire community but I am also sure that they understand the reasons behind this decision. My team of human staff is very important to me and their health has to come first. We shall be reopening before Halloween.” Steve Fuller told the Oracle this morning.For now it looks like vampires will have to find somewhere else to catch their snacks.
